WASHINGTON (AP) -- Now that Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination for president, he wants convention delegates from Florida and Michigan to have full voting rights at the party's national convention.
Obama sent a letter Sunday to the party's credentials committee, asking members to reinstate the delegates' voting rights when the committee meets at the start of the convention in Denver.
The delegates were originally stripped because the two states violated party rules by holding primaries before Feb. 5. The delegates from each state were given half-votes at a contentious party meeting in May, as part of a compromise . . .

First, count the votes. Then decide which votes count. Neat trick.
Because BHO doesn't want to lose Florida and Michigan in the general election.
sounds like we have a vice president clinton nominee
She has vanished into thin air, and all of her agents are nowhere to be found.
They are planning some major operations for the convention.
Remember that super secret meeting at Feinstein's house several weeks ago?
That was Obama offering Hillary the VP slot, and she told him that he need not call her again, but that she would call him.
I am telling you, she has some nasty suprises in store for Obama in the coming days.
I dont know
I dont trust Hillary
Trust Obama even less
Full vote now that the Clinton delegates have been run off.
The delegates that are being seated at the convention aren’t all of the SAME delegates who originally were going there.
This is a mockery from the UndemocratIC Party.
No. I liked the first one. They are amusing.
The delegates were originally stripped because the two states violated party rules by holding primaries before Feb. 5. The delegates from each state were given half-votes at a contentious party meeting in May, as part of a compromise......designed to assure him of the nomination. Hey, why have principles when expedients are so much more handy?
Another flip-flop?
Are the Clintoons getting to him? LOL!
No, it may very well be that people investigating Obama’s background are gettig uncomfortably close to exposing something he prefers be kept hidden.
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
Voter fraud in the primaries?
Character?
Real birth certificate?
Is he even a citizen?
There are too many unanswered questions.
This is an actual comment from someone from a story I read off of Drudge about Obama’s plane. Check it out. It is hilarious.
“I NEVER IN MY LIFE thought that i would vote for the republican over the democrat for president. NEVER! but after obama’’s latest ploy, asking the dnc to give michigan and florida delegates a ‘’full’’ vote after hiring lawyers to fight it when he was neck-and-neck with clinton, this lifelong dem-turned-indie (this year) WILL VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN OVER THAT BLACK HOLE OBAMA. i can NOT give that hypocrite my vote and i can’’t even ‘’give’’ him the ‘’gift’’ of not voting against him. HE IS A DEMOCRATIC NIXON and i cannot in good faith allow my nation to fall victim to another nixon if i can help it! AND A DEMOCRATIC NIXON AT THAT! I ONLY HOPE THAT ALL CLINTONITES WILL DO LIKEWISE AND EITHER NOT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OR VOTE FOR MCCAIN! 4 years of mccain followed by a possible 4-8 of hillary clinton is better for our nation than 4-8 years of this F*CKING *SSHOLE! “

Look like Hillary’s girls are a little peeved!
I think this is going to profoundly hurt him.
He might as well have said about Hillary supporters “Let them eat cake”.
Is it possible the vote count is flawed.........nah,couldn’t be.....but.... then again....
I decided to man up and go have a look at DU. They’re still pretty much wrapped up in “proving” that Bushitler, Cheney and Rove are simultaneously the Three Stooges and the highly intelligent evil cabal that has completely destroyed our republic and turned it into a dictatorship. Along with their standard “I hate this country because it’s so fascist under Bush” and “The corporate media continues its conver up of the Bush / Cheney crimes”.
